President Biden is facing backlash after a divisive speech at the DNC, where he went beyond criticizing Donald Trump and labeled Trump supporters as unable to “think” or “read very well,” drawing comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” comment.
In what will likely be remembered as a major political misstep, President Biden recently stirred controversy by labeling a significant portion of the country as “dumb.” Speaking at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Monday night, Biden didn’t just target Donald Trump, but went further by attacking Trump supporters, claiming they “can’t think” and “can’t read very well.”
Biden’s comments, reminiscent of Hillary Clinton’s infamous “basket of deplorables” remark from 2016, came during a discussion on education. He questioned how America could lead the world without having the best education system and took aim at Trump and Republicans. “Donald Trump and his Republican friends, they not only can’t think, they can’t read very well,” he said, drawing laughter from the crowd.
Doubling down, Biden referenced Project 2025, suggesting that Republicans want to diminish parts of the education system.
Clinton faced significant backlash in 2016 after characterizing half of Trump’s supporters as “deplorables,” encompassing those she described as racist, sexist, homophobic, and xenophobic individuals. The Trump campaign capitalized on her comments, accusing her of showing contempt for everyday Americans, a sentiment that seems poised to resurface with Biden’s latest remarks.
